Good find.
I have always suspected that Lego was part of the illuminati. I mean who else would have the power and technique to convince you to spend $10 on a tiny box of plastic blocks just so you could build a car. I know that they have my son brainwashed, because we have a Lego store in a local mall and everytime he enters it he looses his mind.

About a year ago the folks from Lego approached us about a co-branding opportunity. The idea was that with 2012 approaching and a sudden post-NY blackout population surge we should focus on the 8-13 age group since they were nearing our standard "age of accountability".
Due to the unfortunate dumbing down of the population through television, our Bakugan efforts were falling short. Kids just couldn't understand or link the symbology of the Bakugan graphics to world domination.
So, it was decided we would go with an Atlantis theme.
Let's face it, kids love Sea Turtles right? I'm not too proud to admit the equilateral triangle/sea turtle design was my idea, and it made through to production.
Anyway... long story short...
We wanted to design a custom set for the whole "return of Atlantis" theme to get these young people accustomed to it and to recognize the futility of individual resistance. Unfortunately, our market timing was poor due to delays on the Deepwater Horizon explosion, thus postponing our viral "Burning Sea Turtle" marketing campaign.
I predict this will be a failure because the timing between the burning turtles and the sympathy curve to join up with the Lego minions was just too far apart.
I probably shouldn't let this out but we are planning a tie-in campaign on lego.com that will show kids how to build giant phallic obelisks using some of the custom shapes in the Atlantis kits.
We are having a board meeting in two weeks to start planning the space fart, so I will let you know how it goes.
Until then,
Hail Galaxar

We are also always looking for creative folks with ideas. There are about 450 openings left in the (planned) 500 million, but they are going fast.

Pretty sure the dark priests in Egypt had all the slaves move blocks to build monuments.
Isn't that what legos are? Blocks to build stuff?
